The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

TL: Zimmings

Storas, or Lard Stor, fixed his gaze at me.

[How dare you, a mere mortal, be referred to as a Goddess?]

[You’re an absolute moron.]

Wow. It’s amazing that my mouth moves at my own will this time.

Lard Stor became agitated.

[You! You will perish in the horrors of hell because of that foul mouth of yours-!]

[You’re noisy. Close the door behind you. Make sure no chilly breeze blows where the sick people are.]

[How dare you order me!]

[Door!]

The girl shouted. This was not my decision, but rather the decision of this body.

There was a distinct hatred among the sick patients and their caregivers towards Lard Stor. When Lard Stor said [Don’t be fooled by her!] everyone turned blind eye to him.

[Let’s see. How is your stomach today?]

[Nice! So, Goddess, do you mind if I go pick up some firewood today?]

As I pressed my ear on the boy’s stomach, I squinted my eyes.

[Your stomach is letting out a weird sound. Are you taking the medicine I prescribed for you?]

[Of-of course.]

[Hey.]

[……I’m sorry.]

The child murmured and bowed his head in shame.

After all, getting herbs was difficult enough in the winter, but when Neliard’s soldier came to town and stole the herbs and food that had been stored, this village was left in ruins.

[If you don’t take your medicine on time, you’ll never be able to take it again.]

[Huh?]

[You’re going to die.]

[……!]

The bright young child sprung to his feet and said, [I will eat it. I’m going to eat it!]

She grinned as she observed the child frantically rushing around the room.

[Good. Take your medication as soon as possible. Before that, go to the back of the building and get the oat porridge. Also, if you starve yourself and give it to your younger siblings, you will never see me again.]

[Alright…….]

When she insisted in a firm manner, the child grew pale. She flashed a brief smile and stuffed a small envelope the size of a palm into the child’s pocket. The boy who opened the envelope opened his eyes and looked at her.

[Snacks! It’s snacks, right? It’s the first time I ever saw a snack.]

[Share it with your siblings. Don’t forget to save one for yourself, okay?]

[Yes!]

The child raced away with a big smile on his face. After that, she went on to check on the rest of the patients.

The expression on Lard Stor’s face shifted a little. Because every single one of her patients expressed their appreciation. As I watched the sight, I was reminded of the treatment centre that I had made for Cecilia before.

‘The treatment center looked similar to this one.’

[Let’s see. Oh your wound is getting worse. You didn’t listen to me and went to work.?]

[Ah, who would be able to cross the river if the boatman didn’t?]

[Then your legs might rot.]

She took a deep breath and fished for something in a pocket adjacent to the chair. While she was looking through the herbs, she pulled out a yellow leaf and placed it in a mortar.

[Ediora.]

Lard Stor suddenly said.

[What?]

[Use Ediora. The herb you picked up won’t work.]

[Do you know him?]

Lard Stor’s hand emitted a bright flash of light. It shone brightly, then a book appeared in his hand.

[My ability is ‘The Supreme Library’. I can browse every records in the world.]

It appears that he knew about the herbs because of his ability. She suddenly reached out to him.

[Give me that.]

[Sharing of powers is strictly forbidden…!]

[I’m referring to Ediora. You have it right? Give it to me.]

[Why are you robbing me…….]

[The role of a pioneer is to guide others. Please assist him in his recuperation.]

Lard Stor snorted when he saw her being shameless. However, as soon as she started to smile, he bit his tongue.

‘It was impossible for people to refuse that face.’

Lard Stor said [Wait.] and walked out of the room. He transformed into a gigantic owl, and flew to the sky.

[Akh!]

She grabbed him.

[Let’s take a look at your herbs, huh? If you have something good, share it with people. Okay?]

[This crazy girl! Whose back do you dare ride on?!]

[Start!]

[I can’t go!]

Lard Stor said but she ignored him.

Eventually, they went to his secret place, and she lit up as soon as the door opened.

‘Oh my God, there are so many herbs! Dried, potted, wow! It’s in a sack!’

Lard Stor growled as she put her hand on the sack.

[Get your hands off it when I’m being nice.]

[There are two twins with lung disease I could treat. But this herb is so expensive that I can’t even afford it. If I have this, I can save people. Two!]

As I put out two fingers, he gritted his teeth.

‘At this time, Storas must have had a good heart even though his words were harsh.’

He looked displeased with her, who swept away the herbs, sighed, and approached the bookshelf.

He took a book, opened the cover, and began writing something inside.

[Isn’t this the prescription I gave to Qara?]

When I said that behind him, he screamed [Wah!] and his eyes were wide like saucers.

[You say that the supreme library is an ability, so there is no need to record it, right?]

[Only something recorded can be taken out. And how do I use my ability every time? Even though I’m a pioneer, it doesn’t mean that I can use this ability all the time.]

[So you like my prescription?]

[That isn’t……!]

[It’s three scoop of corn oil. Not two eggs.]

[…… What?]

[It’s actually three eggs. A while ago, it was not enough, so I had no choice but to add only two eggs instead. Fix it.]

[Can you tell me something like that?]

[Of course it’s fine. It’s all for the people anyway. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was recorded and used again in future generations?]

[…….]

[So!]

She smiled shamelessly and said,

[Let me see yours too.]

[What?]

[This is perfect to use for Aunt Galtine’s athlete’s foot. Share it with me, okay?]

[You…….]

Lard Stor of that era was really good-natured. In the end, he became a great assistant to her. She saved many people with the prescription she received from him.

[Goddess’ assistant! Come out and eat. I caught four trout the size of my forearm!]

[I’m not her assistant! I am someone great whom God has imparted wisdom!]

[There’s also wine!]

[… I’ll come out for a second. Wait.]

Everyone referred to him as her assistant.

Time passed by. But the war never ceased, and she continued treating people.

[Meria, Meria!]

One day, Lard Stor came up to her running with a pale face

[Run away. Neliard finally raised his sword against the Gods. Many pioneers are following him. War broke out in God’s Court!]

She bolted from the room, kicking the door in the process.

[Meria!]

The God’s court was completely consumed in flames after three days and three nights of battle.

The corpses of the pioneers who followed Neliard and those who opposed the humans were scattered here and there.

Among them…….

[Boone!]

She hugged the fallen Boone, as he touched her cheek and smiled sweetly as always.

[Don’t cry, my child. I’m just one step ahead to the land of rest.]

[No…….]

[I’ll be waiting there for you. Preparing the strawberries that you like…]

After saying that, Boone closed his eyes. She sobbed uncontrollably while holding his body.

[What, Meria. How did you…….]

Lard Stor looked at her, visibly confused, but she staggered and stood up without minding him.
